I am declaring it – we are officially settled in!

We got rid of the last of the cardboard boxes this weekend. Everything now has a place. Plus, look at these guys relaxing. You can see they are home.

Maybe I have mentioned that we don’t have air conditioning? (Just kidding, I know I’ve mentioned it. I talk about it all the time!) This week, we found a nice children’s museum just down the road from our house. It’s been a great retreat on some of the HOT afternoons.

We also went over to the lake to beat the heat. I sat in the shade and ate Jimmy John’s while Rafa played with the girls in the water. Win, win.

Speaking of eating, we enjoyed our favorite Minnesota chain, BWW, the other day. Mariel was so happy that she kept hugging Papa’s neck.

These sweet girls finally got together for a picture. It looks awkward, but they are hugging in the second picture, I promise.
